Description
Somewhere out there is a line in the sand between sanity and insanity. JANE searches that line out, toys with it, revels in it, and then takes a running leap right over it.
Sex, drugs, and gangster rap come together in this deliciously transgressive novel to show you a side of crazy you never knew you wanted to see.
When twenty-five-year-old Jane moves back to her hometown in order to care for her schizophrenic aunt, miscarriage and an unfaithful fiancé fresh in her mind, the seeds are ripe for her mother’s cruel words to come true:
“You’re going to end up just like your aunt. You’re going to end up in a mental hospital someday.”
Caught between the secrets lurking below the surface of such childhood traumas and Aunt Rose's demons―soon Jane is in desperate need of an escape. She finds it in The Circle, a mismatched group of twenty-somethings who wave their amateur psychiatric diagnoses like badges of honor and party until the sun comes up. Little does she know, her new friends will be the source of her inevitable unraveling.
Advance Praise
"""To be perfectly direct and get it quickly out of the way I think that this writer is a powerhouse and leaves a strong mark on the reader."" Mary Papastavrou, author of How to Sew Pieces of Cloud Together
""This novel is as good as volleying treacle; messy, sticky, and wickedly fun,"" Rebecca Gransden, author of anemogram"
